The Stress of College Administration – Get Help Where You Can
The Stress of College Administration
As convoluted, boring or ridiculous as it might seem at the time, it is imperative that you know all the ins and outs of the System, the sometimes nameless, faceless bureaucracy of the school administration. They almost have as much control over your destiny as you do, but they are nominally there to help. If you need money, for example, they can turn you on to student loans, scholarships, internships, and, on rare occasion, a halfway decent part-time job. Administration also provides for health care, should you break your arm in a pick-up croquet match, or come down with a severe case of depression.
There is a dark side to administration, however, and you would best be advised to appease it. Know what the schedules are for turning in financial aid requests, and payments. If you don’t pay in time, they’ll send a note to your professor ordering him or her not to let you into the classroom. Professors have rarely obeyed this, but that can change if money becomes tighter. Also, know exactly what the system’s academic requirements are, and plan your classes carefully. If you put all your eggs into one major, then decide to switch, you might be looking at an additional one or two years if you used up all your electives, or neglected your core classes in favor of your previous concentration.
Don’t let anything get in the way of goal of getting through college as painlessly as possible. Sometimes help is needed in coursework. Use the resources available to you. For example, pressure to complete projects when you are under financial strains can make working and concentrating impossible. Get help with your research papers and learn how to manage your time more effectively.

Very interesting points you have observed , thanks for putting up. “In a great romance, each person plays a part the other really likes.” by Elizabeth Ashley.
No wonder our school system is going down the drain. Massive administration is nothing but a drain on the budget. They do nothing to aid in the education of students. Administration should be cut way back to 10% of the size it is now and they could still play golf on Fridays! I’d like to know what administrator salaries are compared to teachers. I’ll bet you the teachers make peanuts compared to them.
